The Vampire Diaries -- "The Ties That Bind" -- 1/19/12

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
Bonnie (Kat Graham) believes her recurring dreams about Klaus' (Joseph Morgan) coffins will tell her how he can be killed. The dreams also lead Bonnie to a reunion with her mother, Abby (guest star Persia White, "Girlfriends"), whom Bonnie hasn't seen for 15 years. At Abby's remote farmhouse, Bonnie and Elena (Nina Dobrev) meet Jamie (guest star Robert Ri'chard, "One on One"), the young man Abby took in years earlier. Bonnie's sudden appearance catches Abby off-guard, but she does her best to explain the past. Tyler (Michael Trevino) turns to an unexpected ally in his quest to regain his free will. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is intrigued by Alaric's (Matt Davis) new friend, Dr. Fell (guest star Torrey Devitto), and Klaus continues his bitter negotiations with Stefan (Paul Wesley) over control of the coffins containing his family members. John Dahl directed the episode written by Brian Young (#312).


Episode 12 of 22

I've been watching this over the last couple of weeks, and I'm finally caught up.

I can't believe how much this show craps all over "True Blood". And all the other supernatural shows for that matter. Actually, it might be the best drama on network tv right now.

This show is on a roll. Honestly, I don't think I have ever seen a truly bad episode. Even a mediocre episode is still good.

Nice introduction to Bonnie's Mom. at Alaric's new lady friend cheating with the Vampire blood.

at HRG trying to antagonize Tyler into changing with the axe.

and God damn, Nina looked hot with the mini skirt and really high boots.

One thing that I thought was cool was you were starting to see some emotion from Stefan when Elena revealed that she kissed Damon.

Nice return for Elijah.

They are defitely storytellers on this show compared to True Blood.
And all characters seem to work together on V.D's.
T.B's characters always seem to be scattered until the last two episodes or so.
